Joining Dwarf Fortress at publisher Kitfox
When I say it terrifies me, it’s not in the sense that it’s a scary game featuring dolls that move when I’m not looking at them, but in the sense that it’s a deep and complex simulation played out in a dense 2D style that makes my brain go funny, and featuring locations like “the toxic arboreta of Ekuemekiyye” and the “oasis-hamlet of Joppa”. There are many similarities toshoving-birds-in-a-hole simulationDwarf Fortress, up to and including the new publishers, but another is that it’s a game where I fear to tread despite being glad it exists, and despite it having many fans who do love it.
Jason Grinblat of Qud devs Freehold Games is delighted with the DF connection. “Few games have had as big an impact on Caves of Qud as DF. It’s humbling to be mentioned alongside the legend, and it’s delightful to lock arms with our friends and some of our favorite devs ever, Tarn & Zach Adams,” he said in a press release.
